    REALLY CONFUSED!!

    I just got my Ruby home from the vet. He wants me to put him on a lower protein diet due to some of his health issues. The problem is everything i can feed him other than vegi's; which he isnt overly interested in yet as he is just 1 year, has high protein. What do i do?

    Somethings Wrong! HELP!!

    Ruby just came out of hyber. She seemed fine the first few days now she has developed what looks like parkinsons when she tries to eat or walk. Is it a lack of calcium cause she has eaten mice already. I'm confused should I bring her to the vet?

We due have a system to maintain...
